what gauge bare copper wire will this unit take?

Manufacturer specifications call for #12 wire. You can find this information on the bottom of page 2 of the product spec found at the following link. http://www.tiitech.com/repository/datasheetlibrary/NYMDS036-0710.pdf

From the manufacturers website for the Series 212 which is what this is: Strip and insert a #12 (minimum) ground wire into the hole provided on the surge protector. (Figure 3-1). Turn screw until wire is compressed and tight connection is made.See page 2 on the installations instructions on the following link. Once again, it is the Series 212:http://tiitech.com/repository/installationsheetlibrary/92219901-tii_210&212_InstNt.pdfAlso as far as the operation of the device if you have RG59 coaxial cable, you may need to change to RG6 coaxial cable "to ensure proper operation" of the TII 212. "Suitable adapters must be used that have center pin conforming to .040 inches requirement (eg. RG6, RG11)."

I have 12g in mine. I think it will hold 10g. I'm talking about the grounding wire though? Not the coax.

NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 810 specifies 10 AWG copper minimum.
25186
I used 12 gauge which is recommended, but there is enough room for 10 gauge.

Check your local code (or ask an electrician at your home improvement store of choice). Where I live the code is #10 bare copper wire. The device will take that size.

I used 10 gauge to ground the connector to the house ground. SC Code only requires 12, however.

You will use the same wire for the whole Job 10-2 Gauge Wire..... 10 -2 AWG Wire From The Circuit Breaker Panel to the Thermostat, and 10-2 AWG Wire from the line voltage Thermostat to the Electric Unit Heater

I've never been able to get an answer. I've been told that it is "tinned pure copper." I did end up using it and haven't had any issues. I ran a dmm on it and got a 14.11 idle (with the ac on) and it only dropped to 13.96 with hard bass hits. It definitely is 4 gage though.

Good question. I can tell you it will not accodate standard 14 gauge soild copper wiring. if you are using this in your house you will need to connect a smaller gauge wire to the romex wiring. the connection terminals are very small on the supply side

It is copper, but I wouldn't recommend this kit. The wire gauge is too big to fit correctly into any of the fuse holders or fittings. The fuse was defective also.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

I really do not know the wire gauge size, however these are sold primarily for the Battery Tender which only puts out 3/4 amps.

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

Yes, wire to inside unit is included. #12 wire is sufficient for outside unit power, it can handle 20 amps. Some local codes require a fourth white (neutral) wire in 230 volt appliances. It acts as a backup ground and safer should something happen to the copper ground wire.

I used 16 gage and my system sounds fine. The thicker the wire is, the better. But I think 16 gage is fine for most applications.

There are no markings on my unit that specify the wire size, but it appears to be close to #18 AWG for all 3 wires.

I don't know the gauge of the wire but it doesn't seem to be high quality. They're very basic, but I already anticipated that and bought some wire separately for about $30. Heres what I bought and it works great: C&E 100 Feet 14AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable, CNE62761

The copper lines are 3/8" tubes. (The 100LF-WF is also with fittings--1/2" IPS adapters)

Should work, the copper wire is designed for use with transformers up to 600W+.

I used 14 gauge, and it fits with plenty of room. Appears as if 12 gauge will work too. The trick is to have just enough wire coming out and over the edge to make a proper connection. Works like a charm.

I apologize for the late response but i have been very busy. i bought 14" gauge wire for my system. i really don't believe the brand matters. i would also recommend banana clips but they are also not necessary. when i get the chance i will try to include a link to the ones i bought.let me know if this helpsDex

16 0r 18 gauge copper wire cables should be used. Buy a 100 foot roll, that should be enough.
